Fabre’s personal profile:
Jean-Henri Casimir Fabre (1823--1915), a famous French entomologist and literary Home, insect scientist. It is known as the "Homer of the insect world" (it is said that Homer is the author of two famous ancient Greek epics, "The Iliad" and "The Odyssey"), and the "Virgil" of the insect world. His more than 700 watercolor paintings of fungi were deeply appreciated and loved by the Provence poet Mistral. He also contributed to the bleaching and dyeing industry and obtained three patents on alizarin.
Representative work:
In 1880, "Insects"[2] came out.
"Insect Diary" is also translated as "Insect World", "The Epic of Insects" (Huacheng Press 1996 edition), "Insect Story", "Entomology Notes" (the French name is "Souvenirs entomologiques" , the English name is "The Records About Insects"), known as "Virgil of the Insect World" and "The Epic of Insects". The subtitle is "A Study of the Instincts and Customs of Insects." In addition to truly recording the life of insects, it also reflects the human world through insect life.
Thesis: "Research on the Nodules of Orchidaceae" and "Research on the Anatomy of Regenerative Organs and the Development of Myriapods", "Observations on the Customs of the Arthroplasty" and "Insects" ***Ten volumes, each volume consists of several chapters, most of which were completed in the Wild Stone Garden. The first volume was published in 1878, and one volume was released approximately every three years thereafter.
Biography:
Jean-Henri Casimir Fabre (1823~1915) died at the age of 92. He was a famous French entomologist , animal behaviorist, writer. He is known as the "Homer of the insect world" and "Virgil of the insect world" by the world. Fabre was born in a farming family in Saint-Leon, Provence, southern France. In the following years, Fabre spent time at his grandparents' home in Maraval, not far from the village. At that time, as a young child, he was already attracted by the lovely insects such as butterflies and grasshoppers in the countryside.
In 1857, he published "Observations on the Habits of the Arthroplasty". This paper corrected the erroneous views of Léon Dufour, the founder of entomology at the time, and won him the honor of the French Academy. He was awarded the Experimental Physiology Prize. During this period, Fabre also devoted his energy to the research of the natural dye madder or alizarin. The red color on the French soldiers' military trousers at that time came from the powder of madder.
In 1859, Fabre obtained three patents for such research. Later, Fabre was invited by the Public Education Minister Victor Druid to be responsible for the organization and teaching of an adult night school, but his free teaching methods caused dissatisfaction among some people. So he quit his job and settled down with his family in Orange, where they stayed for more than ten years. During these more than ten years, Fabre completed the first volume of the ten-volume "Insects". During this period, he went to Wandu Mountain with his friends many times to collect plant specimens. In addition, he also got acquainted with the British philosopher Mill, but Mill died young, so that the plan they had previously planned, the "Vaucluse Vegetation Grand View," was aborted. At the same time, a great misfortune befell Fabre: he had six children. Among them, the only son Jules, who had the same interests as his father and loved observing nature, passed away at the age of sixteen. After that, Fabre dedicated several plants he discovered to Jules, who died young, to express his memory. The study of fungi has always been one of Fabre's hobbies.
In 1878, he wrote many wonderful academic articles on the theme of fungi in Vaucluse. He also studied the wild rice in great detail and described its aroma in detail. Gourmets claim that they can taste all the flavors he described from real wild rice.
In 1879, Fabre bought the deserted stone garden in Selignan and lived there until his death. This is a barren and barren land, but it is a land loved by insects. In addition to being a place for his family to live, it also has his study room, studio and experimental field, where he can quietly concentrate on thinking and devote himself wholeheartedly to his work. Through various observations and experiments, it can be said that this is the world he has always dreamed of.
It was here that Fabre, while conducting observations and experiments, compiled the observation notes, experimental records and scientific notes he had spent studying insects in the first half of his life, and completed the last nine volumes of "Insects". Today, this former residence has become a museum, quietly located in the botanical garden with a rich Provence style.
Fabre persisted in self-study for half his life, and successively obtained a bachelor's degree in business, a bachelor's degree in mathematics, a bachelor's degree in natural sciences, and a doctorate in natural sciences. He was proficient in Latin and Greek and loved the ancient Roman writer Horace and the poet Works of Virgil. He was also almost self-taught in painting and watercolor, and left behind many exquisite illustrations of fungi that were praised by Nobel Prize winner and French poet Frederic Mistral. In Fabre's later years, the success of "Insects" earned him the reputation of "Homer of the Insects" and "Virgil of the Insects", and his achievements were widely recognized by society. Although Fabre received many scientific titles, he remained as simple as ever, shy and humble, and lived a life of poverty. His talent was admired by literati and scholars at that time, including British biologist Darwin, 1911 Nobel Prize winner for literature - Belgian playwright Maeterlinck, German writer Junger, French philosopher Bergson, poet Ma Latin American and Provence writers Roumanier and others. Because "Insects" accurately recorded Fabre's experiments and revealed many secrets about insect life and living habits, Darwin called Fabre an "inimitable observer." When he lived in Selignan, many scholars and writers came to visit him. Fabre received scholars such as Pasteur and the British philosopher Mill in his residence, but his correspondence with them was not frequent. Victor Druid, Minister of Education of the Republic of China, recommended Fabre to Napoleon III, who awarded him the Order of Honor. French politician Raymond Poincaré was passing through Selignan and made a special detour to pay his respects to the Stone Park. Fabre, who had multiple identities, wrote a wide variety of works: as a naturalist, he left many academic treatises on plants and animals, including "Fine Grasses: Patents and Papers", "Animals of Avignon", "Wild Wild Plants", "Toadstools on the Olive Trees", "Grape Phylloxera", etc.; as a teacher, he has written many chemical physics textbooks; as a poet, he wrote many poems in Provence in southern France, and is affectionately known by the locals. Known as the "Gadfly Poet". In addition, he also translated the works of some Provence poets into French; in his spare time, he also used his small harmonica to compose some ditties. However, the longest, most important, and most well-known of Fabre's works is still "Insects". This work not only demonstrates his talents in scientific observation and research and literary talent, but also conveys his humanistic spirit and incomparable love for life to readers.
Childhood:
Born on December 22, 1823 in Saint-Léon, an ancient village in the Runage Mountains in the Averlon Province in southern France. The teacher in the village was Mr. Licard. He was named John Ainley. Father Antonio (born in 1800), mother Fekvar (born in 1805).
In 1825 (2 years old) his younger brother Frantilik was born.
In 1827 (3 years old), because his mother had to take care of his younger brother, he stayed with his grandparents in Malabon Village from the age of 3 to 6; this was a large farmhouse with many A kid older than him. He is a child with great curiosity and strong memory. He once proved to himself that light is seen through the eyes, and traced out the songworm in the leaves to be a katydid. My favorite thing is to listen to my grandmother telling stories before going to bed, and I often sleep with my sheep in my arms on cold winter nights.
In 1830 (age 6), he returned to Sa Lewang Village and entered a private school run by Mr. Likar. During class, piglets and chickens often ran into the classroom to look for food. He wrote down the letters A, B, C... from animal illustrations, and became interested in insects and grasses. He discovered the nest of the black-throated robin, and obtained the blue eggs in the nest. After the priest persuaded him, he returned the eggs to their original place, and became a Increase the family income, help take care of the ducklings, and be responsible for rushing to the swamp to stock them, thus discovering the creatures and crystals, mica and other minerals in the swamp.
In 1833 (9 years old) Fabre graduated from high school. The family moved to Rhodes Town, and his father made a living by running a coffee shop. He entered Wangli College and served as an assistant in Wangmi's ceremony without paying tuition. While at school, he studied Latin and Greek and liked to read the poems of the ancient Roman poet Vergilis.
In 1837 (13 years old), his father failed to run a coffee shop and the family moved to Tols. Entered the Eskil Theological Seminary.
In 1838 (when he was 14 years old), his father's business failed again. He moved to Montbelli City and opened another shop. He left home alone and made a living by selling lemons and working as a railway worker. I used more than one day's wages to buy "Rubble's Poems" and took it to the wilderness to read. I found it the greatest pleasure to learn about various insects. I was particularly happy when I caught the European Cloudgill beetle for the first time.
Youth:
Worked in 1839.
In 1840 (16 years old), he was scolded by his teacher for failing in his grades, so he worked hard to improve himself. He completed three years of credits in two years, and spent the remaining year free to study natural history, Latin and Greek.
After graduating from the Normal School in 1842 (at the age of 18), he became a teacher at Calbantola Primary School with an annual salary of 700 francs. He was well received for his enthusiasm for teaching. His father failed in business and moved from Montbelli to Bordeaux.
In 1843 (19 years old), I learned about the wall-coated wasp from a student while taking a field surveying internship class. It was also because of this kind of bee that I began to read [Arthropod Chronicles] by Blanche, Leomir and others, and I fell in love with "entomology" from then on.
In 1844 (20 years old), he married his colleague Marie Vanyal (23 years old). Study mathematics, physics, chemistry, etc. on your own. My father's coffee shop closed again and he temporarily worked at the Tax Office in Carbantola.
In 1845 (21 years old) the eldest daughter Elisabeth was born.
Elizabeth died in 1846 (22 years old). Passed the entrance qualification examination in Mathematics at the University of Montbéli. His younger brother Frantilik became a primary school teacher.
In 1847 (23 years old), he obtained a bachelor's degree in mathematics from the University of Montbelli. The eldest son John is born.
In 1848 (24 years old), he obtained a bachelor's degree in physics from the University of Montbelli.
The eldest son John died in infancy. I really appreciate Tosnel's (French writer) writings about birds. I hope to teach in a university, but I have no chance.
Youth:
In 1849 (25 years old), he worked as a physics teacher at the National High School of Ajeghiou in Corsica, with an annual salary of 1,800 francs. Facing the rich nature of Corsica, I began to study animals and plants. In addition, he is also very passionate about mathematics. Join botanist Lucia as you climb every mountain in Corsica to collect plants.
In 1856 (32 years old), he won the Experimental Physiology Prize of the French Academy of Sciences for his research on the tumorous wasp. I continued to study insects such as the bald wasp and short-winged turnip, but due to the difficult life, I did not have much time for research. He concurrently worked as an extracurricular tutor and tutor, and began to research dyes extracted from madder.
On May 21, 1857 (33 years old), the larvae of the short-winged turnip was found in the nest of the striped wasp, and the paper "Metamorphosis of Turnipaceae Insects" was published. In addition, he also published a paper on plants thesis.
In 1858 (34 years old), after learning that it was impossible to become a university professor without property, he devoted himself wholeheartedly to the research of madder dye.
In 1859 (35 years old) Darwin praised Fabre as a "rare observer" in his book "The Origin of Species".
The second son Jules is born. Served as director of the Rukia Museum. Inspector Deliuil visited and got acquainted with the botanist Duracol. Later, he met the British economist Miller who lived in Avignon and became a plant lover.
In 1862 (38 years old), Anchet published elementary school books. I met Delac Lapu, the president of a Paris publishing house, and was encouraged by him to write easy-to-understand scientific books.
In 1863 (39 years old), the third son, Emile, was born, and Deliuil became the Minister of Education.
In 1865 (41 years old), he was in danger while climbing Bandou Mountain. The bacteriologist Pasteur came to visit and asked Delacrap to publish scientific books such as "Sky" and "Earth".
In 1866 (42 years old), he successfully extracted dye pigments directly from madder and was employed as a physics professor at Yaweinong Normal School.
In 1867 (43 years old), his contribution to Avignon was recognized and he won the Garnier Prize with a bonus of 9,000 francs.
In 1868 (44 years old), due to the recommendation of the Minister of Education Druid, he was awarded the Medal of Leziwang Denour and paid a visit to Napoleon III. Lecturer in natural history and physics at evening public lectures. Industrialize the successfully researched madder dye. Not long after the factory was established, Germany completed the chemical synthesis of allitiamin dye, and the dream of industrializing madder dye was shattered. The teaching method of public lectures was opposed by conservative educators and churches, so he resigned from his teaching position at the normal school.
In 1869 (45 years old), at the instigation of conservatives, Druid resigned as Minister of Education.
Middle age:
Old times in Ouran
In 1870 (46 years old), he borrowed money from Miller and moved to Ouran. Raising a family of seven is a heavy burden. Fortunately, scientific books are being published one after another, so I can pay back the money bit by bit.
In 1871 (47 years old), he lived a life of writing books and observing insects. This year, due to the war between Germany and France, royalties and royalties could not be obtained on time, making life even more difficult.
In 1872 (48 years old), due to Deliuy's introduction, the chemist Tima presented a microscope as a gift.
Miller died in 1873 (at the age of 49). Forced to resign as director of the Rukia Museum in protest to the mayor. He was awarded a silver medal by the Paris Society for the Protection of Animals, and his works on mathematics, plants, and physics were published one after another.
In 1877 (at the age of 53), the second son Jules died, and the three discovered bees were named Volvos and Volivos after the Latin word for Jules. The black wasp wasp, the black wasp wasp.
Due to the death of Jules in 1878 (54), he was deeply affected and his health was not as good as before. He contracted pneumonia and almost died, but luckily managed to survive with his strong willpower.
Completed the first volume of "Insects" in 1879 (the original manuscript includes: the sacred dung beetle pushing the dung ball, the tumor-dwelling wasp catching the weevil, and Langedog catching the short-winged katydid) Cave wasp...etc.).

Fabre's Biography Version 1
Jean Henri Fabre (1823-1915) was born in a small town in southern France, near the Mediterranean Sea of poor families. In his childhood, Fabre had already shown his love for nature and his gifted observation ability. The outline can be seen in his article "On Heredity". Relying on self-study, Fabre was admitted to the public-funded students of Avignon Normal College. After graduating at the age of 18, he worked as a primary school teacher and continued to work hard on self-study. In the following years, he successively obtained degrees in literature, mathematics, physics and other natural sciences. A bachelor's degree and license (similar to today's master's degree), and a doctorate of science in 1855.
The young Fabre was once deeply fascinated by mathematics and chemistry, but later found that the animal world attracted him even more. After obtaining his doctorate, he decided to devote his life to the study of entomology. However, financial constraints have always troubled this ideal young entomologist. He must take on many tutoring and public education courses to supplement his family income. Despite this, Fabre still enjoyed studying insects and spiders, using his free time to observe and experiment.
During this period, Fabre also used his rich knowledge and literary attainments to write various popular science books and introduce new scientific knowledge and various natural science knowledge to the public; his popular natural science education courses also won a lot of praise. However, conservatives and church people criticized him for telling women about the reproductive function of flowers in public and suspended his courses. Because the teacher's treatment was too low and he was slandered by rumors, Fabre became frustrated. He resigned from the school teaching position and was even kicked out of his residence by his devout Catholic landlord the following year, which made his situation even worse and forced him to give up his desire to teach at the university. Fabre turned to a wealthy businessman friend in England for help, and with the friend's generous loan, in 1870, his family moved to Orange in a house lent by a local gentry.
In 1879, Fabre moved to the village of Sessignon near Ouhongo, where he bought an Italian-style house and one hectare of wasteland to settle. Although this wasteland is full of gravel and weeds, Fabre's dream of "having his own small world to observe insects" has finally come true. He named the garden "Barren Stone Garden" in the Proven?al language of his hometown, which means "rocky wasteland". Here Fabre could concentrate on observing insects without interruption and concentrate on writing. This year the first volume of "Insects" was published, and then all 10 volumes were completed at a pace of about three years per volume; Fabre also spent the thirty years of his later years here.
In addition to "Insects", Fabre published 95 very best-selling books in the 30 years from 1862 to 1891, such as LE CIEL (Sky) published in 1865. 110,000 copies, some books have even sold more than "Insects".
In addition to writing books and observing insects, Fabre was also an excellent mycologist and painter. He had painted 700 species of mushrooms collected, all of which were first-class works. He also left many poems and Compose music for it. It was not until the last ten years of his life that Fabre's scientific achievements were gradually recognized by France and the world. Only after receiving government subsidies and private donations did he escape his poor family background. In 1915, Fabre passed away in Huangshi Garden at the age of 92.
Fabre's Biography Version 2
Jean-Henri Fabre (1823-1915) was born in a village called Saint-Léon in southern France. . Since his parents were both farmers, Fabre spent his teenage years in poverty and hardship. He studied very hard, but because he learned Latin and Greek quite well in middle school, he laid a solid foundation for his future writing.
In order to make a living, Fabre, who was only fourteen years old, went out to work. He once worked as a hard worker on the railway, worked as a lemon seller in the market, and often spent the night in the open air. However, despite being in trouble, Fabre did not give up his pursuit of knowledge and never stopped self-study. Finally, at the age of nineteen, he was admitted to Yaweinong Normal School and won a scholarship. In normal school, Fabre was much more interested in animals and plants in nature than in "grammar that kills humanity."
After graduating from school, Fabre became a primary school teacher. While working, he studied by himself and received bachelor's degrees in mathematics, physics and other disciplines. He believed that "learning does not matter whether someone teaches you. The most important thing is whether you have the understanding and perseverance." After that, he also worked in middle schools in Corsica, Avignon and other places. After becoming a middle school teacher, Fabre became more interested in insects. He often led and guided students to observe and study insects. The original text of "Insect World" is "Reminiscences of Entomological Research", and the subtitle is "Research on Insect Instincts and Customs". Fabre has been doing this for decades, getting up early and staying up late at night in the scorching sun and cold wind. , keep a magnifying glass and notebook in hand to observe and study the crystallization of insects.
Fabre had high literary attainments and was deeply influenced by Renaissance writers, especially Rabelais. It can be said that the French romantic poet Chateaubriand pioneered the description of giant scenery such as oceans, mountains, and forests in the field of literature, while Fabre used a simple and fresh style to vividly record various aspects of the insect world. The feeding habits, preferences, survival skills, natural enemies, transformation, and reproduction of various small creatures...
Fabre's descriptions of insects are full of childlike innocence, poetry and humor. In his writing, pine chafers are "embellished in the twilight of summer, beautiful jewelry set on the sky of the summer solstice"; fireflies are "points of light escaping from the bright full moon"; he describes the carabid "fighting this Occupation is not conducive to the development of skills and talents... It has no other specialties except killing." In his eyes, rhinoceros dung is "selfless labor..., insisting on working underground, and devoting oneself to the future of the family." No wonder the famous French writer Victor Hugo praised Fabre as "the Homer of the insect world".
This famous work by Fabre has been translated into thirteen languages. For more than 100 years, it has inspired several generations of young people to be interested in natural science and biology. The original text is in two volumes, with ten chapters. This book has selected and translated some of them. Among them, "spiders" and "scorpions" belong to the same phylum Arthropoda as the class Insecta. Fortunately, the author has explained it.
In Fabre's later years, the French literary community recommended him to the Nobel Prize for Literature judges many times, but without success. For this reason, many people published articles in newspapers or wrote letters to Fabre, complaining about his injustice. Fabre answered them: "I work because I have fun in it, not to pursue honors. You are angry because I have been forgotten by the public, but in fact, I don't really care."
Millions of people. Don't think that "Insect Diary" is just a simple popular science booklet. The publication of this book is regarded as the birth of animal psychology. It is known as the "Epic of Insects". It is a classic work by the famous French entomologist Fabre. The author combines professional knowledge with life insights and talks eloquently. The description of the daily habits and characteristics of various insects reflects the author's unique vision of life. This book is the observation record of French entomologist Dr. Fabre. The original book has ten volumes.
The book gives detailed descriptions of insects that people rarely see. It also gives random explanations of some customs and habits in France during Fabre's era, and adds some views of modern entomologists. It is an easy-to-understand classic popular science book for understanding nature and insects.
I got a small piece of land in a quiet place in a small village. This is a piece of Hamas. This name was given to a place in our Chabrowensi that cannot be cultivated and has many stones. Apart from some thyme, few plants grew there. If you work hard, you can grow something, but it's not worth it. However, in the spring some sheep will pass by there, and if it happens to rain a little at that time, some grass can grow.
However, my own Hamasi has some red soil mixed with stones, and it has been cultivated roughly. I was told that vines had once grown on this land, and I was rather upset because the original plants had been knocked off with a fork, and there was no thyme left. Thyme might be useful to me as a hunting ground for wasps and bees, so I was forced to plant it again.
It is covered with crocodile grass, eryngium, and Spanish eucalyptus - a plant covered with orange-yellow flowers and with hard claw-like inflorescences. On top of these, there is a layer of Illyrian cotton thistle, whose towering branches sometimes grow to six feet high and have large pink balls with small thorns at the ends. They are really well-armed. , so that people who collect plants don’t know where to start picking them. Among them was the spike-shaped cornflower, which had a long row of hooks, and the buds of the hooks crawled to the ground. If you don't put on high leather shoes and go into the woods with so many thorns, you will be punished for your carelessness.
This is my paradise that I have worked hard for forty years!
This strange and deserted kingdom of mine is a happy hunting ground for countless bees and wasps. I have never seen so many insects in a single place. Various businesses were centered around this land, with game hunters, clay workers, weavers, leaf cutters, cardboard makers, plaster workers mixing plaster, carpenters drilling wood, and miners working. There are all kinds of people, from digging underground tunnels to working on cow's colon membranes (used to separate the gold foil).
Look! Here is a bee that can sew. It peeled off the web-like threads of the yellow-flowered Erythrina, collected a stuffed mass, and proudly carried it away with its gills, or jaws. It is going to go underground and use the collected stuff to store honey and eggs. There are a group of leafcutter bees, carrying black, white, or blood-red cutting brushes under their bodies. They intend to go to the adjacent grove and cut the leaves into small circular pieces. Used to wrap their harvest. Here is another group of plasterer bees wearing black velvet clothes. They are doing cement and sandstone work. In my Hamas we can easily find the tools they use for their work on the stones. In addition, there is a kind of wild bee that hides its nest in the ladder of empty snail shells. Another species places its grubs in the pith of dry raspberry stalks. The third type uses channels of dry reeds as its home. As for the fourth type, they live in the empty tunnels of plasterers and don't even have to pay rent. Some bees have horns, and some have brushes on their hind legs. These are used for harvesting.
The walls of my Hamas are built, and piles of stones and fine sand can be seen everywhere. These were all dumped by the construction workers and were soon used by various households. Occupied. The mason bees chose a crack in the stone for their sleeping place. If there are fierce lizards, they will attack people and dogs if you accidentally crush them. They choose a cave and lie there waiting for passing dung beetles. The black-eared thrush, wearing white and black clothes, looks like a black monk, sitting on the top of the stone singing simple songs. Where in the pile of rocks can you find those bird's nests with tiny sky-blue eggs? When the stone was moved, the little black monks living inside the stone were naturally moved as well. I feel very sorry for these little black monks because they are such lovely little neighbors. As for the lizard, I don't think it's cute, so I don't feel the slightest regret about its passing.
In the sand piles, there are also colonies of digger bees and hunter bees. What I regret is that these poor digger bees and hunter bees were later ruthlessly killed by construction workers. Expelled. But there are still some hunters left, who are busy all day long, looking for small caterpillars. There is also a very large wasp that is so bold that it dares to catch poisonous spiders. There are many such powerful spiders living in the soil of Hamas. And you can see that there are also strong and brave ants. They send out a military camp's strength and line up in a long line to set off to the battlefield to hunt their powerful captives.
In addition, the woods near the house are filled with various birds. Some of them are singing birds, some are green warblers, some are sparrows, and some are owls. There is a small pond in this wood, filled with frogs, who form a deafening orchestra when May comes. The bravest among the residents was the wasp, which took over my house without permission. There is also a white-rumped wasp living at the door of my house. I have to be very careful every time I go into a house or I step on them and ruin their mining job. Through the closed windows, plaster bees build earthen nests in the walls of soft sand and stone. The small hole I accidentally left in the wooden frame of the window was used by them as a door. On the edge of the shutters, a few lost mason bees built a hive. As soon as lunch time came, these wasps came to visit. Their purpose, of course, was to see if my grapes were ripe.
In 1849, he was appointed as a physics teacher in Ajaccio, Corsica. . The island's beautiful natural scenery and rich species ignited his passion for studying plants and animals. The botanist Le Guin of Avignon imparted his knowledge to him. After that, he followed Mokan Tangtong to collect flower and plant specimens. This knowledgeable and talented teacher laid a solid foundation for Fabre to later become a naturalist and embark on the path of scientific research. In 1853, Fabre returned to mainland France, was employed at a school in Avignon, and moved his family into a simple house on Dyer Street in the Saint-Dominique neighborhood.
Famous Quotes:
During his lifetime, Fabre encouraged all those engaged in scientific research to "work with perseverance in order to overcome difficulties!" He believed that those engaged in scientific research "must never Give up on yourself."
He said: "Just walk, as long as you walk, strength will naturally arise!"
He said: "It doesn't matter if someone teaches you to learn this, the most important thing is It depends on whether you have awareness and perseverance."
He said: "Before I say 'yes' to something, I have to observe and touch it, not just once, but two or three times, or even endlessly. Until there is no doubt."
He said: "I am just a light that lights up a small patch of road in front of me."
He said: "We. The so-called ugly, beautiful and dirty have no meaning in nature."
He said: "It goes without saying that in the field of entomology, a little naivety should be maintained."
He said. Said: "Opportunities only come to those who are prepared (or opportunities always come to those who are prepared)."
He said: "If one day, a woman loves a man and loves him forever, and a man loves a woman... Until death; if you see through life and death, wouldn’t death be sad? Praise God!” Fabre once asked a question: “Is it worth enduring hardship just to survive?” He has used his ninety-two years to answer: facing "prejudice", accompanying "poverty", and not being afraid of "sacrifice", "offense" and "forgetting", all this is for the word "truth" . Pursuing truth and exploring the truth can be described as "seeking truth." Seek truth! This is the "Fabre spirit". [3]?
His research was naturally criticized by orthodox forces. Fabre argued, "You are disemboweling the insects, but I am conducting research while they are alive and kicking; you Turning insects into a heap of monstrous and pitiful things, I made people like them; you worked in torture chambers and corpse fields, while I observed under the blue sky, amid the song of the cicadas; You use reagents to test hives and protoplasm, but I am studying the highest expression of instinct; you are studying death, but I am studying life!"
Mr. Lu Xun once wrote "The Story of Insects" Called a model for "telling insect stories" and "telling insect lives".
"Insects" was selected as one of the recommended reading books for the second volume of the seventh grade of the People's Education Press.
